It's been a while since I photographed my daughter, so she was actually excited. :lol:

C&C away. I know her feet/legs are underexposed awfully. :blushing:

Very good job. My only cc is I wish the middle frame would show at least her face from the side.

misstwinklytoes · Feb 2, 2011

Ummm. Window light (late in the day though, blah) Flash at +0.5 at about 2 o'clock from me (about 6-8 ft from her) with a reflector just to her left and SS 1/80 F 3.5 ISO 200.

I think I'll be framing this pretty much just like it looks here. White matte and black frame.

Robin Usagani · Feb 2, 2011

I have no idea what you mean by +.5.

Light is a little harsh in the picture on the right. Other than that they're well lit and she looks happy.

misstwinklytoes · Feb 2, 2011

Me either, Schwetty, lol. I'm still learning all the technical terms. It's one light past middle on the back of the flash. Says +0.5.

Is my reflector where it should be? I'll post a diagram of my setup.

Here we are:

where is your light? I think you should angle the reflector a bit more? and where is the window?

lol wow, i'm a dork. And maybe still half asleep. Perhaps its not the best time to be working on homework.

>.< I'm not used to having OCF. :lmao:

Will repost.

You set your flash to do +0.5 FEC. The only way you can do auto setting is if you have a trigger that can do ETTL. I have a feeling you don't. So your flash was always fired at full power. You need to change the setting of your flash to manual. I would start at 1/8 power and adjust up and down from there.

These look cute! Some day this will be a treasured trio of pics. Already, it's not too bad.

I don't have a clue what you're talking about Schwetty. I guess I'll ahve to look for the manual. :lmao: My triggers didn't come with a manual, but they are the....
